答案 Owing to its economic benefits and effects to life, tobacco consumption has always been a hot-debated issue in our society. It is estimated that the annual economic loss due to tobacco consumption amounts to 200 billion US dollars, and meanwhile 3 million people worldwide lose their lives because of smoking-re-lated diseases. To our great relief, there is a tendency of declining in tobacco consumption—the year between 1994 and 1996, as indicated by chart 1, witnessed a drop in total tobacco production in the world, declining from 14.364 million pounds in 1994 to 14.2 million pounds in 1996. The reason for the declining is mainly people’s increasing awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco. If this trend can be maintained, the number of people dying of smoking-related diseases can be significantly reduced. However, according to a survey, there are still 1.1 billion tobacco consumers in the world. So it’s not an easy task to persuade such a large amount of people to give up their smoking habits. In addition, tobacco industry still plays a very important role in the development of the economy. As a consequence, only with concerted efforts of all people, can this problem be properly dealt with.

解析     从结构上看,本文对提纲做出适当调整,分为三段。第一段开篇明义,指出烟草业和吸烟对人类社会的危害。第二段段首和上段形成对比,段首指出这种现象有所改变:烟草消费数量有所下降,进而结合图表,指出这种下降的原因何在。第三段从两个方面进行论证,指出吸烟问题解决起来并没有那么容易,并对本段进行了总结。
